The Chinese medicine is not cold yet, it is warm, can it be refrigerated?

Try not to put it directly in the refrigerator, but wait for it to cool to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. There are the following reasons:1

The inside of the refrigerator should be maintained at about 4 so that the food stored in the refrigerator can last for a long time. If you put hot things directly into the refrigerator, the temperature in the refrigerator will rise, and the condition of "the inside of the refrigerator should be maintained at about 4", and the food stored in the refrigerator is easy to spoil. 2.

When something hot is put into the refrigerator, some heat is brought into the refrigerator, and the refrigerator needs to work to bring the temperature down, which consumes electricity and also increases the burden on the refrigerator, which will reduce the lifespan. 3.Due to the low temperature inside the refrigerator, when the hot food is cold, the moisture contained in it will evaporate sharply and then solidify in the evaporator inside.

In a short time, a thick frost layer can be formed on the evaporator, which prevents the evaporator from transferring heat from the refrigerator to the outside.

First of all, Chinese medicine is very particular about the efficacy and time of use, etc., if there is no excessively harsh requirements for the efficacy, or the temperature of the liquid has little effect on the efficacy, it can be refrigerated, and the hot liquid will freeze faster than the cold liquid!!

It's going to be bad.

If it is a decoction, the Chinese medicine can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 days. In order to ensure the safety of the use of medicines, the best temperature for the storage of sealed vacuum-packed Chinese medicine decoction is 0 5, and the storage time is 7 14 days, but it is best not to exceed 7 days. If it is not cooked, it should not be refrigerated in the refrigerator for a long time.

On the one hand, after the decoction is cooked, it is often stored at room temperature for half a day to a day before taking it home for refrigeration, which will "accelerate" the deterioration of the medicinal soup; On the other hand, if the decoction contains animal Chinese medicines such as whole scorpion and centipede, or Chinese medicines with high sugar content such as rehmania and astragalus, the shelf life will also be affected. If you find that the liquid medicine bag is bulging, the liquid medicine has changed its flavor, there are bubbles and other abnormal phenomena, it is considered to be spoiled and should not be used.

If it is a Chinese herbal decoction that is served in a container provided by yourself, it is generally not recommended to take it overnight, even if it is placed in the refrigerator freezer, it should not exceed 3 days, so as not to affect the health of the liquid medicine, if it is not cooked, it cannot be refrigerated in the refrigerator for a long time.

Ginseng medicinal materials: ginseng medicinal materials include wild ginseng, red ginseng, sugar ginseng, raw dried ginseng, American ginseng, etc., because they contain more sugars, mucilage and volatile oils, etc., so they are prone to moisture, oiliness, mildew, discoloration, insect moth and other deterioration. For the ginseng that has been dried thoroughly, you can seal it with a plastic bag to isolate the air and store it in a cool place.

3. Deer antler velvet: Deer antler velvet should be placed in a ventilated place, and then some peppercorns should be wrapped in a cloth and placed aside. It can also be sprayed with a small amount of 95% medicinal alcohol or liquor about 50° sealed and stored. If stored properly, the medicinal effects of deer antler velvet will not change for three to five years.

Drugs that are collected, processed, and prepared under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, explain the mechanism of action, and guide clinical application are collectively referred to as traditional Chinese medicine. In short, traditional Chinese medicine refers to substances that are used to prevent, diagnose and have health care effects under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory. Chinese medicine is mainly used in natural medicines and their processed products, including botanical medicines, animal medicines, mineral medicines and some chemical and biological products.

How to store the Chinese medicine after the patient takes it home to ensure the quality of the medicine?

Preservation of Chinese medicines.

At present, there are two types of traditional Chinese medicine packaging, small packaging and bulk. Pharmacists recommend that Chinese medicines should be stored in a cool and dry place, not in a damp place such as the kitchen, nor in a place exposed to direct sunlight such as a balcony. Why?

Generally, traditional Chinese medicine contains about 10% water, if placed in a place with sunlight, it is easy to evaporate the water in the medicinal materials and affect the efficacy. Due to the packaging bag on the outside, the moisture cannot be volatilized and is left in the bag, which is easy to cause mildew. Some traditional Chinese medicines, such as safflower, are easy to change color when exposed to sunlight, which affects the efficacy of the medicine.

Put it in a humid environment, if it is bulk, it is easy to absorb moisture and cause mildew. If the Chinese medicine is stored in the refrigerator compartment, it is okay, but the bulk Chinese medicine needs to be stored in a bag and kept tight.

How to identify whether traditional Chinese medicine is mildew. The easiest way is to see if there are white or green mildew spots, but some rhizome Chinese medicines such as Panax notoginseng have gray-brown or gray-yellow surfaces and gray-green, yellow-green or gray-white sections. Therefore, while looking at the color, you can use a blade to scrape the surface of the suspected moldy Chinese medicine with a razor or a fingernail, if there is white or green mold falling off, it can be determined that the medicinal material has been moldy.

If the herbs are found to be mildew, moth-eaten, smelly of artemisia, and knotted, they should not be taken.
